I don't have these but have tried both machines. If space and money is a big factor the sit down machine would fit the bill, but if not the Avante's with the Pro stitcher would be the one I would choose. The way they work is completely opposite to each other. On the sit down, you move the quilt and on the Avante you move the machine head. Either one will be great! Try both and see which you like the best.
